Do you think Victoria was possibly mislead or under the impression that this was a fluff piece about Cosplay and SDCC but instead got ambushed about our economic hardships.
Exactly this Amish Trooper :unsure
I was contacted Sunday night asking if I wanted to do an interview with them about Comic-Con. And I've never been on any kind of TV before, so why the heck not! Sounded fun, and I blindly assumed it would be the general kind of SDCC coverage, asking about the crowds and panels, celebs, etc.
They said they would send me questions about an hour beforehand so I could look them over, but they didn't. I got an email on the road when I was a few minutes away from the studio letting me know the anchor was still writing her questions (which is BS since she obviously already had this article up), and that:
"she will basically ask you about your experience , what you think of the critics of comic con esp of those who attend and get into it. also if this can somehow be seen as an escape from reality...especially in troubled economic time".
That all sounded fine to me, and I was rather interested in the last bit because it sounded like a good, solid conversation piece.
I had no idea until we went live and I caught a glimpse of her actual "headline" that I realized what her interview was actually about.
It wasn't until the interview was over and the bf and I were in the car when it dawned on me what a ridiculous ambush that had been.
I understand people not understanding, or misunderstanding, this hobby. But clearly this woman (who used to be a reporter in San Diego!) had, what I consider to be, a ludicrous agenda she wanted to push for goodness knows what reasons.
